Liza Blake and Whitney Sperrazza invite you to submit brief proposals for an edited collection entitled Early Modern Literatures and Sciences: Forms of knowledge in women’s writing. We invite papers that analyze the scientific work being done in literary forms produced by early modern women. [NB we are defining early modern, for our purposes, as ending roughly 1680s/1690s.]

Our volume will be divided into two sections (Sciences and Genres, both in the plural), and we are asking at this stage not for abstracts, but for a list of keywords that you might be interested in structuring a chapter around. You can find more detail about the volume and the proposal at tinyurl.com/EMLS-call

We are asking for brief proposals by Feb. 15, but if you are potentially interested and might like a bit more time please be in touch with us at liza.blake@utoronto.ca and wssgla@rit.edu.
